Notes While I am Gone to Africa

Hello, here are a few horse care updates and notices related to my absences.

-I will be gone Nov. 10th through Dec. 21st, 2017
-Please read over the horse care report posted on this blog
-Please read over the contact numbers below and correct if needed.
-For herd horses we plan to provide round bales with hay nets over them which means:
-NO SHOES on horses while we feed round bales because of the hay nets and the risk of getting their feet caught in it.
-Herd horses will not be grained while I am gone
-Willie will have his collar on 24/7, the rest is the same as before except for round bales with others
-NO RIDING ON THE PUBLIC ROADS OR TRAILS DURING DEER GUN SEASON! Nov. 17th (day before season because of crazy people) to Nov. 26th, 2017.  Just don't do it.  It is not worth it.
-Board paid while I am gone will be deposited and given a receipt after I return. Plan accordingly.
